I’ve been exploring how to better implement lean practices in our small batch production lines… For instance, our recent shift to a just-in-time inventory system has cut down waste, but I’m curious about what other tools or methodologies might help optimize our setup further. Has anyone found effective strategies for minimizing downtime during changeovers?
Consider mapping out your changeover steps to identify bottlenecks — it’s helped us streamline things — how much time are you currently spending on changeovers?
